Thunder signs Watson to two-way deal

The Thunder has signed 26-year-old forward Paul Watson Jr. to a two-way contract, the team announced Wednesday. Oklahoma City had an open twoway slot after waiving Josh Hall on Sunday.

Teams can have a maximum of two players signed to two-way contracts, and Watson will join rookie Aaron Wiggins as the Thunder's second two-way player.

The Thunder will give Watson a look on a two-way contract, which he's still eligible to sign because he has three years or fewer of NBA experience.

Who knows what Thunder coach Mark Daigneault's rotation will look like, but Watson shouldn't have trouble getting shots up if the minutes are there.

It's worth testing the legitimacy of his 3-point shooting, which stands at a sharp 45% through 37 NBA games.
